Buy a case of 1990 Topps for a Thomas NNOF?

I love opening wax and see that cases generally sell pretty cheap, but I don't know a lot about baseball so, what exactly am I looking to buy? 1990 Topps Baseball? Any high or low series I should be looking for? Also, it looks as though everything I pull will go to the garbage...but I don't know, is there anything worth holding onto?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Not expecting it. Know it's a very hard pull. Looking to crack wax and get high off twenty year old gum.
If you're doing it just for the fun of it, then go right ahead, but there's really little justifiable cause to entertain such a notion.
As I recall, it was pretty much a given that the NNOF's were geographical and that, for the most part, any future findings will be the result of typical migration of the product from warehouse to closet to warehouse over the past two decades. I know the predominance of these cards seemed to be in Central to Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio back in 1990 and 1991 and that's where I managed to pick up most of the ones that I traded back then.
with the new Border breaks -- see NNOF discovery thread -- and the frank thomas , infamous Jeff King, there is a reason too,
but its not an exciting set.
I have vending boxes of this in my house, and I can't even get though all of them...
good luck ., let me know if any border breaks or Jeff kings with yellow tint on the white of the back of the card
Topps White Out (silver) letters Alex Gordon
80 Topps Greg Pryor “No Name"
90 ProSet Dexter Manley error
90 Topps Jeff King Yellow back
1958 Topps Pancho Herrera (no“a”)
81 Topps Art Howe (black smear above hat)
91 D A. Hawkins BC-12 “Pitcher”

Why would you say this? Are you not the guy who complains more than any other? So much that you have created an image of "Off The Wall" for being a complainer? I mean, you offer good avice, but preface with an insult.
If this wasn't the case then accept my apology, but I'm pretty sure you took a shot at me.

Nah, you're pretty much on target. Aren't you the one that complained about the Registry, then about the Bossys and then about a couple of sellers and then . . .
The only thing I complain about is the stupidity of those that complain and complain.
No apology necessary as I was criticizing you. Unlike most, I do commend you on the fact that you have above average comprehension skills.
And if I have this "image" as a complainer, that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. However, I really don't give a rat's azz what anyone thinks of me or about me and I'm not here to win anyone over or get pats on the back from others. Hopefully you've figured that out by now.
My guilt lies in speaking my mind and saying things that I'm sure others are thinking but haven't the nerve to post publicly or the necessity to engage with others.
I find some of your threads interesting, but others beyond painful. If you can't see that this is a losing proposition or if you were just looking for attention, that's fine. If you couldn't handle or accept the barb, so be it. But that's just how I am and nothing is going to change that.

Interesting. Some say they don't care about their image, yet they see themselves as a "certain type." Go figure.

I'm not claiming to be anyone or anything. Whatever you wish to see is your choice. I'm not posturing or posing as anyone or anything.
Wasn't it you that complained about the Registry? About the Bossy Registry? About several sellers and their Bossy cards? Weren't you giving up your Bossy collection then a month later were buying more?
At least I'm consistent. The last word is yours...
has it been proven with 100% certainty that NNOF came out of packs?
I always thought they came out the back door???

See, I don't know...I'm not a baseball guy so trying to gather some info. I want to bust some wax and if this card is able to be pulled, then why not have fun opening then deliver the cards to goodwill

Yes, they came out of packs. I witnessed several at the old Trolly Station show in Nazareth, PA in early '91...
